Dávid Líška; Daniel Gurín; Timea Gejdošová; Denisa Ivanicová; Sebastian Rutkowski – Research in Dance Education, 2024
Lower limb injuries in dancers are a very common complication preventing them from maximizing their performance or even causing one to end their dance career. The aim of this study was to investigate the dynamic stability using the Y-balance test (YBT) in professional folk dancers in comparison with the non-dancers. The study involved 30 folk…

Chichy, Jamie L.; Ankrum, Julie W.; Wincek-Bateson, Rebecca – Journal of the American Academy of Special Education Professionals, 2023
Research suggests that oculomotor dysfunctions, such as convergence insufficiency, impact children's ability to read and write. Studies have identified convergence insufficiencies in near 6.8% of school-aged children. Oculomotor dysfunctions, such as convergence insufficiency, have responded favorably to oculomotor rehabilitation once identified.…

Jylänki, Pinja; Sipinen, Elina; Mbay, Theo; Sääkslahti, Arja; Aunio, Pirjo – International Journal of Early Childhood, 2023
The aim of this pilot study was to examine the immediate and long-term effects of an intervention program that aims to improve preschoolers' (N = 36, M = 4.49 years, SD = 0.35) early numeracy skills by combining the learning of numerical relational skills via story reading with fundamental motor skill practice. The intervention program was piloted…

Weise, Michael A.; Vicente, Joshua A.; Ponce de Leon, Belle P.; Savola, Makena; Hernandez, Kimberly; Flanagan, Sean P.; Hinkel-Lipsker, Jacob W. – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2023
Action observation, where a learner observes a model demonstrating a skill, has long been established in the literature as an effective means to acquire motor skills. Developments in virtual reality technology have made it possible for a 3D action observation viewing perspective, theoretically providing a viewing experience similar to observing a…

He Jing; Li Fangfang; Xue Yuan; Ma Rui – Early Child Development and Care, 2023
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between motor skills and fluid intelligence in children aged 5-7 years. In this cross-sectional study, 115 children between 5 and 7 years of age (preschool children with sports skill learning) were included (51 boys, 44.34%), and fluid intelligence was measured using the Wide Range of Intelligence…

B. P. Johnson; I. Iturrate; R. Y. Fakhreddine; M. Bönstrup; E. R. Buch; E. M. Robertson; L. G. Cohen – npj Science of Learning, 2023
When humans begin learning new motor skills, they typically display early rapid performance improvements. It is not well understood how knowledge acquired during this early skill learning period generalizes to new, related skills. Here, we addressed this question by investigating factors influencing generalization of early learning from a skill A…

Konukman, Ferman; Erdogan, Murat; Tüfekçioglu, Ertan; Gümüsdag, Hayrettin; Yilmaz, Ìlker – Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance, 2022
One of the advantages of plyometric training is providing both variability and overload to a training program. Plyometric training provides a good combination of drills between resistance and speed training. Therefore, the main purpose of this article is to provide practical and developmentally appropriate examples of plyometric soccer drills for…

C.-C. Chen; S. D. R. Ringenbach; N. Arnold; K. Nam – Journal of Developmental and Physical Disabilities, 2022
This study was aimed at investigating the effectiveness of assisted therapy (ACT) on manual dexterity in older adults with Down syndrome (DS). Nine older participants with DS, aged 31-52 years old, completed a 30-min stationary cycling session, three times per week for eight weeks of ACT intervention, pedaling at 35% higher than voluntary speed.…

Katie J. Robinson; David R. Lubans; Myrto F. Mavilidi; Francisco B. Ortega; Nicholas Riley – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2024
The purpose of our study was to assess the test-retest reliability and concurrent validity of the 30 sec Sit to Stand test in a sample of adolescents. We recruited 30 male (58%) and 22 female (42%) participants (mean age = 15.77 years ± 0.46). Participants completed the 30-sec Sit to Stand and standing long jump tests on two occasions separated by…

Bo Hyun Hwang; Daehyoung Lee – International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, 2024
An emerging body of literature suggests that early motor skills may be a key predictor of language development in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, characteristics of subject groups, targeted skill areas and their assessment tools, and methodological approaches significantly vary across existing studies. This scoping review…

Pragya Verma; Niravkumar Patel; Prachi Sharma; Manasi Anand Kanetkar; Madhu Singh; Uttama Lahiri – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2024
Intact graphic execution ability is considered an important gateway to one's academic success. It is often reported that the graphic execution ability of neurotypical children and those having autism, i.e., children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is differentiated. Although insightful, these reports had been mostly for text handwriting task…

Tingting Xie; Huan Ma; Lijuan Wang; Yanfei Du – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
This study explored the impacts of enactment and motor imagery on working memory for instructions in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), children with intellectual disability (ID) and typically developing (TD) children. The participants were asked to hear (hearing condition), imagine enacting (motor imagery condition) and actually enact…

The purpose was to evaluate reliability of measurements during drop jump (DJ) and magnitude of differences in vertical jump height (VJH) when calculated using two variables: time-in-the-air and center-of-mass velocity. Thirty-seven handball players performed three single-leg and double-leg DJs on a portable force plate during two sessions. Sixteen…

Donna Thomas; Elizabeth Murray; Eliza Williamson; Patricia McCabe – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: The aim of this study was to pilot the efficacy of rapid syllable transition (ReST) treatment when provided once per week for a 50-min treatment session for 12 weeks with five children with childhood apraxia of speech. Of central importance was the children's retention and generalization of gains from treatment as indicators of speech…

Jack D. Brett; Brooke Peden; David A. Preece; Andrew Whitehouse; Rodrigo Becerra; Murray T. Maybery – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
The Repetitive Behaviours Questionnaire for Adults (RBQ-2A) measures two factors of restricted and repetitive behaviours (RRBs) associated with autism. However, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) provides four criteria for RRBs: repetitive motor behaviours, insistence on sameness, restricted interests, and interest…
